Welcome back @amritadeva :)
I think that regardless of the prompts of this challenge, this was a great opening for the contest in terms of what it is expected from the writers. I could see the story arc well drawn in there.
I agree with @carolkean on the narrator being unlikable, completely emotionless in regards to her relative death. But that's the beauty of literature. Stories, like any other artwork, are supposed to cause an effect on readers. Otherwise it would be just a description of events.
Anyway, I liked it and look forward to further reading your work.
So don't go away again ;) hehe, as we say in Spanish "No the pierdas"
